***CANCELLED***

With spring in full swing, come to one of Rochester’s best-kept birding secrets: Cobbs Hill Park’s Washington Grove.  Colorful warblers and other spring migrants arrive en masse at this urban oasis of tall stately trees.  Pat will demonstrate birding by ear as we search for Yellow-rumped, Black-throated Blue, and Black-throated Green, Nashville, Black-and-white and Hooded Warblers among others.  We will likely hear the flute-like Wood Thrush and see Hermit Thrushes searching the ground for food.  Sparrows, orioles, and perhaps a Scarlet Tanager will make an appearance.  Washington Grove is one of the best spring birding spots in the area.

Meet at 8:00 a.m. opposite the reservoir in the grassy area between the road and the woods; use the Highland Avenue entrance, just east of Monroe Avenue.
